North American Shortwave Pirate / Insane Radio 6924.6ish KHZ AM 0350 UTC FEB 1, 2015

« on: February 01, 2015, 0402 UTC »

One last tune around the bands and an intriguing carrier on 6924.6 faded in with audio at 0350 UTC then "Insane Radio" Loop ID at 0351 UTC, into "What Condition My Condition Was In"-First Edition with Hippy Kenny. Faded into the noise at 0353 UTC. Nothing but a carrier since then. Thanks for the one more show to cap off the night Insane Wayne!

Thanks for tip Chris...fair to good audio amidst the noise with a 50's tune at 2216 UTC tune in.

On suddenly at 1347 UTC with an instrumental techno tune, into a song I call the *"Maxwell House Dance tune"...sounds like a techno coffee pot perking to the beat
1353 UTC A different instrumental techno dance tune...
6934.4 KHZ AM with excellent audio...S3-S5 signal and some deep fades into the noise.
1357 UTC Same music as at 1347 repeated.
1402 UTC OFF

*I think the name of this song might be "Popcorn"
Per Wikipedia music clips, the opening music is "Alex F"-Crazy Frog, and the second song is "Popcorn"-Hot Butter. I guess the song at 1353 UTC will have to be Shazam'd later....

Thanks for the xmtr test whoever you are....sounds good!

EDIT:Thanks JFarley! Seems this has been logged a few times over the last couple years. Sooo...I guess the first 2 songs are Crazy Frog remixes and the last one is an original. Uhhh...QSL sil vous plait?

Late logging here...recorded the last 4 minutes of this...tuned in at 0031 UTC to an UNID song, 0034 UTC with "Insane Radio" ID loop, then a descending speed ID and OFF at 0035 UTC. Signal was at best S4 here, much of it above the noise. Haven't heard IR in quite a while here!

Here also at 2204 UTC with audio fading in and out of noise level.
2205 UTC Man announcer, but tough copy. Fading pattern sounds European

Just caught the end of this at 2101 UTC with good signal above the noise. Carrier a slight bit off of 6886.7 KHZ AM. Last bit of UNID music, then man announcer with "WMID...WMID...John T Arthur's second favorite radio station". (Man has a slight regional US accent!).

« on: January 30, 2015, 0024 UTC »

Fair signal amidst heavy noise and very loud peskie on LSB bleeding over into USB here at 0018 UTC tune in. UNID music, man announcer at 0020 UTC with ID sounding like Radio Molotov into another UNID song.
0024 UTC Signal picked up above the noise with another UNID song-S5 here now
0028 UTC Interval Signal? Followed by UNID rock tune
0035 UTC UNID song sounding like a punk/thrash tune
(Are these songs all from the same group? I googled Molotov and they're a Mexican group)
0037 UTC Hmmm...now men are chanting something like "DA DA Da"
(Some eclectic tuneage I'm hearing tonight)
0039 UTC Man talk intro ending with a "Yee Ha", into a rock tune with a heavy bass line
0043 UTC Rap tune en espanol
0047 UTC Man said something in Spanish, into a Heavy Rock tune
0052 UTC Man announcer with ID "XLR8-Accelerate"
Hmmm...is this the same station?
0057 UTC The music playing now would go well with a good Carlos Castenenda book!
0059 UTC "Sunshine of Your Love"-Cream (Now I'm in safe territory!)
0104 UTC Reggae tune Man singer
0107 UTC ID by man announcer "X-L-R-8....accelerate", then OFF

This came up on a google search... www.radiomolotov.blogspot.com
Maybe related somehow? Anyway, thanks for the show XLR8 op! Had us guessing on this one tonight

EDIT: The clip posted by S. McArdle clearly says..."and now for some real Molotov". The ID at 0020 UTC has a 6 or 7 note IS with man announcer saying "Radio Molotov".
